Even grandpa’s eyes had teared a little after watching his grandson back, but being the tsundere grandpa as always, he was hellbent to not let anyone see this side of him. Hence when all others, or more appropriately Joel was creating a scene, he had pushed his emotions back and calmed himself down before paying attention to Kizy who was sitting unconscious resting by the mountain rocks.

“Let’s take her to the hospital first. She felt a little feverish and suddenly fainted. We can discuss everything later.” Markus said before lifting Kizy in his arms Princess style.

He then went towards the car while Rose promptly opened the back passenger door, letting Markus and Kizy enter inside.

“Do you mind coming with me on the bike?” Rose asked Nicole who shook her head, signalling a No.

With that Joel started the engine while Grandpa sat on the first passenger seat. Markus sat behind while he made Kizy sleep comfortably on the back seat, with her head resting gently on his lap as he stroked her hairs.

Grandpa and Joel, both knowing that Markus needed some time to calm himself down and pay attention to Kizy, didn’t speak another word while driving back towards the city, headed towards Unity hospital.

Rose started the bike while Nicole sat behind her, following closely behind Joel’s car.

“I still can’t believe that brother is back. Don’t you think he looked a little different right now?” Nicole said.

“He is injured.” Rose said in a monotonous voice..

“What?? Seriously? Where? How do you know?” Nicole asked, unable to remain calm anymore, especially when it was about her recently returned brother.

“Inform Jason and others that we have found Kizy plus Markus is back. Tell them to reach the hospital directly.” Rose said.

“Oh yes. They all must be worried even now.” Nicole said while taking her mobile out.

She was about to dial Jason when she suddenly hit the back button, before searching for Victor’s name, not knowing why she did that.

“Hello.” Victor’s voice could be heard from the other side.

“Hello Victor. Kizy, we found-” Nicole was still speaking when Victor cut her off.

“What about second sister? Is she alright? Did you find her? Was she-” Victor started speaking, his voice high pitched while he was tense.

“Victor listen first!” Nicole exclaimed, making him shut his mouth.

“Okay.” He said in a low tone.

“Kizy was found near the Southern Mountain range with brother. But she fainted, so brother insisted on taking her to the Unity hospital. You head there as well.” Nicole said.

“Second sister fainted? And Markus is back?” Victor asked, not expecting both the incidents, at least not together.

“Yeah.” Nicole replied.

0)ᴠʟ “Ok, we will be there soon.” Victor replied.

“Yeah-” Nicole was still speaking when she heard a beep, signalling that Victor had already ended the call.

Rose just gave a slight smile while driving the bike, happy about all the things that were happening around her, especially related to her close people.

Inside the car, both Joel and grandpa wanted to speak so many things that they opened their mouths a dozen times, only to shut up again.

“Boss, we have reached.” Finally Joel spoke, only to inform Markus about arriving at the Hospital.

The moment Markus climbed out of the car, Joel immediately went back to his PA mode, calling the bodyguards to protect Markus and Kizy as they were sure to cause a ruckus for their sudden appearance.

Secondly he called Mr. Wen, who was head of the hospital, informing him about Markus’ arrival, before following behind Markus along with grandpa.

And thankfully, Mr. Wen was seen standing at the gates, a polite smile on his face, which soon died down after watching Kizy unconscious in Markus’s arm.

Without delaying another minute, he immediately signalled the staff, who were quick enough to bring a stretcher, and made Kizy lay down on it, with Markus not leaving her side for even a second.

“What exactly happened Mr. Markus?” Finally Dr. Wen asked after gathering enough courage to speak with Markus.

“She suddenly fainted. Treat her right now!” Markus said in a flat voice, terrorizing all the staff, Mr. Wen included.

The nurse was wheeling Kizy inside, but suddenly stopped at the entry door.

Markus just gave her a murderous look, making her wanting to cry from fear.

“You will have to wait outside till the doctors are examining Young Madam.” Dr. Wen said in the lowest possible audible voice, trying to rescue his staff from Markus’s rage.

“I. Am. Not. Letting. Her. Stay. Alone.” Markus said, stressing on every single word.

“Stay back. Let them do their job. You will only make it bad for both Kizy as well as the doctors.” Grandpa said from behind, not wanting Markus to create a scenario as soon as he returned.

He could of course understand that Kizy’s condition was troubling Markus. Returning after a month and then the first thing to witness is your wife collapsing in front of you, will make any husband worried, not to mention how protective Markus was about Kizy.

“But grandpa-” Markus was about to refute when suddenly a voice interrupted him.

“She has been like this since the day you left. Where were you back then? She has suffered a lot more than what you are watching right now. So stop being unnecessarily stubborn, you are interrupting them from giving her proper treatment.” Victor said while holding Markus from his collar, pushing him directly against the wall with full force.

Markus groaned from pain while Rose and Nicole instantly ran up to them, separating Victor from Markus.

“Stop it!!” Nicole shouted at Victor while hitting him on the chest, anger visible on her face.

Rose instantly supported Markus a little before walking towards the nurse and other staff.

“Take her inside and start with her treatment.” Rose said in a calm and collected tone.

“Why? Am I wrong?” Victor asked in a deathly cold voice, even making Nicole shiver a little.
